Not Quite as Planned...

I was up early this morning to get in a run. I headed out around 6:30 am and ran an easy 4 miles around the block as the fog lifted. I came home to find a text from Dana. Sadly, Irene got very sick in the middle of the night and ended up in the hospital with what turned out to be a bad gastro infection/colitis. Not quite what we had planned for today... Sam was very excited to eat lobster and steamers with Grammie today; we were also planning to go to the beach. But it was not to be. Poor Irene. And poor Dana.

We made the best of what certainly could have been a better day. Sam and I went on a morning bike ride around the neighborhood and picked raspberries out back. We took an exhausted Dana out for a yummy brunch at Broadway Deli and then after dropping him off at the hospital, Sam, Ryan and I headed to the playground. Ryan still needed to get his run in, so Sam and I dropped him off at Bowdoin to run through the Commons and then we headed to Skofield Shores Preserve for a walk down to the water and a hike.

Sam was a great hiking partner and we ended up hiking all the trails, which was probably only about a mile or so :-) Still, it was a great afternoon to be out in the woods and we found a lot of interesting things along the way. Such a pretty spot.
